He was Couples and small / medium sized groups are our speciality serving on the battleship HMS Warspite at the outbreak of the Alternatively, relax and unwind, book on an accommodation only basis Second World War and saw action in the North Atlantic and we can advise on sightseeing, restaurants, walking etc. Mediterranean. Completing one of the Russian convoys to Murmansk he was then posted to Malta, joining one of the big convoys. After being torpedoed three times he was then transferred to minesweepers, then leaving the navy having completed twelve years as a chief petty officer. 4 & 5 star High quality Self-catering Apartments in the heart of the National Park Private apartments in converted 17th century Manor House & Coach House within own gardens. Tranquil, secluded location. Only three minutes walk from all village amenities. After joining the National Fire Service in London and marrying in 1948, the Le Surfs made the Private parking. move in 1956 up to Norfolk. George became Station Officer with the Norwich City Fire Brigade Dogs welcome in some apartments. at Bethel Street where they lived in married quarters. Later with the help of fellow watch * * * firemen George built the family home at Armes Street. After more than 20 years with the fire 3 Night Weekend & 4 Night mid-week breaks available all year service he worked at the Stationery Office until formally retiring in the early 1980's. 2 night breaks available over the winter period Start a Mid-week break on a Monday – Stay Thursday free of charge Free services of Qualified Mountain Leader for Guided Walking Their love of the countryside blossomed but George and Jeanne found the footpaths mostly blocked, not mapped and very difficult to walk. The Armes Street home was to become for a

time the Norfolk headquarters for footpath work. So began the task of improving Norfolk’s Details & Brochure – Allison & Roger Peak 015394 34924 footpath network. In the 1970’s, with a group of stalwarts, the Norfolk Area of the Ramblers Email: [email protected] www.ambleside-accommodation.co.uk Association was launched, Jeanne was appointed County Footpaths Secretary and George took on the role of Norfolk Area Secretary, a post which he held for many years. They were

honoured in 1976 by the Norwich & District Footpath Society which marked its 15th anniversary by awarding the first life memberships to Mr and Mrs le Surf. As a team Jeanne and George walked almost every known footpath in the county, known as Rambler, Jeanne compiled more than 2000 walks for the Evening News.

The le Surf husband and wife partnership campaigned for more than 50 years to improve Norfolk’s footpath network. Becoming a formidable team, as Norfolk Ramblers forced action to tackle the backlog of blocked and overgrown footpaths and tracks. George represented the Ramblers at many public inquiries, and with Jeanne, a public voice was always to the forefront to further the aims of the RA. Protecting not only rights of way, but the beauty of the Norfolk countryside, in due course the le Surfs trained up a team of footpath secretaries to further the work they had started. The struggle still goes on but with the tireless work from George we now have a great advantage. The Norfolk Ramblers are listened to with respect; their voice is that of all walkers. On retirement from their positions with the Norfolk Ramblers George was made a vice president and Jeanne became president.

George passed away on the 4th of April 2012 aged 91, he leaves a widow, Jeanne; a daughter Jane, and a grandson Tom.

With Respect and Thanks to a True Gentleman. George, Fare Thee Well!
